A member asked:
If i have a stomach bug, how often will i have diarrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Viral gastroenteriti: This is highly variable and depends upon the particular virus causing the illness, the prior state of the gut and your immune status. The frequency of stooling will depend upon these factors, but the duration of illness will seldom exceed 5-8 days. Good luck.
